6. Sarah M.

“Our 2 dogs stayed at Sarah's for about a week earlier this month. The stay was great! We got daily updates, including photos and videos. They have a fantastic large fenced in yard where they could safety run and play. They had lots of playtime, but also lots of snuggles and love. They were both clearly enjoying their own vacation at Sarah's while we were gone on ours. It was so refreshing to know they were so well cared for while we were away- we have already rebooked them for our next trip!”

“Edith was great with our puppy Artemis! We were able to meet beforehand for a short notice meet and greet before the holidays. Artemis got along really well with her two dogs and it seemed like he was having a lot of fun throughout the day- he came back exhausted and happy to see us after a couple of weeks, but we could tell that he was well taken care of. Edith sent frequent picture updates, and we felt like he was in good hands the whole time. I would definitely book Artemis here again in the future!”

Highly recommend Ben!”

17. Germaine & Anthony M.

“Germaine did a wonderful job taking care of Madigan while we went on a trip out of state. Madigan even ended up on bladder infection medicine the day before, to and things went well. I highly recommend Germaine if your dog is fine with little children and another well-behaved dog. Our tiny senior dog was happy and comfortable right away and went directly up to Lilo to meet face to face. It was a very positive experience!”

20. Caitlin P.
“Caitlin Popelka is the most kind-hearted person you will ever meet with a passion for spending time with dogs and caring for animals. Just a few years ago she adopted a Pomeranian Husky, Pom Pom. Pom Pom came to Caitlin with multiple illnesses and was very unwell. However, Caitlin took action immediately, and spent every day for the next 9 months nursing Pom Pom back to health. Every day Caitlin administered medicine multiple times, cleaned up Pom Pom when she got sick, and meticulously fed her a special diet until Pom Pom was able to handle normal food again. Caitlin frequently commuted to the vet to get Pom Pom the best care and always comforted her in her times of feeling poorly. After nearly a year of hard work and dedication from Caitlin, Pom Pom was cured of multiple illnesses and is now one of the happiest dogs in the world. Pom Pom enjoys frequent walks and outdoor time, fun days at a doggy daycare, lots of play, a healthy and nutritional diet, and most importantly, constant love. Caitlin has proven to be the most wonderful mom for dogs and she shares this affection with every dog she meets. I believe she is the perfect person to babysit or take dogs for walks. You can expect her passion for our furry friends to be carried into your dog’s life any time she is selected.”
